Don't think I've ever shared this project I was working on in 2020: a retro-inspired MCU-powered keyboard device. A mix of too much work on sw and the keyboard not being so good led to it fizzing out.
A photo of a device made up of 3 PCBs, one at the top has a large mono graphical lcd showing a black and white toolbar with a menu bar and some widgets, very low res. Under it is another pcb with plastic keys. And in the right there is an Adafruit Feather powering the device.

(EDIT: No, I do not want to debate the percentages of LLM code allowed or "how will people enforce this, I can still vibe code and not tell". This is a statement about intent by a community. It will be a moderation challenge, especially with so many people who have made "coding with an LLM" their whole personality but it's doable. But don't waste your and my time with these boring, juvenile arguments)

Got @slint working on the ESP32-H2, displaying on a 1-bit RLCD and using buttons as key input, cause why not.
A photo of a small breadboard with the ESP32-H2-Zero PCB inserted, the board has a USB Type-C connector attached. In front of the PCB there is a board with 5 tact switches, and behind it is a breakout board with a square reflective LCD attached showing a label saying "Counter: 42", a LineEdit widget, and 4 buttons: 2x "Decrease" and 2x "Increase".

5 years ago, I was playing around with an idea of a keycap with a display embedded in it, and now you can just get them off the shelf!
A bunch of parts on a desk, 3d printed keycap base with a hole for a tiny OLED and its flex cable, transparent keycaps, one assembled key with the base, oled, and keycap on top, flex cable inserted into a PCB.A PCB with a 3x2 matrix of keys with OLED in the keycap, each oled is showing a frame with text "Display 1"  through "Display 6". The displays are driven by a Feather board, some jumper wires connected between the board and the Feather.A product photo showing a keycap with a glass-covered display on top, it's a color display, the glass is nice and curvy. In the back, the flex pcb of the display is showing.The backside of the keycap product showing the stem for a cherry keycap and the flex pcb coming out.

The LinkedIn of the new Tindie owner is non-stop AI slop, prepare for enslopification...
 An Update from the New Tindie Team

Dear Tindie Community,

My name is Gongyu Su, and I am writing on behalf of the new Tindie ownership team.

First, we sincerely apologize for the recent downtime and the disruption it caused. We understand that many buyers and community members were left without clear information during the transition, and that this created frustration and concern.
Tindie is now owned by EETree LLC, a Washington State company. Our team took over Tindie because we believe it remains an important platform for makers, hardware creators, engineers, and independent sellers around the world.

On the right side is a graphic explaining what silk to silk means and then a value of the clearance set to 0.00 mm. Under that are the conditions of the rule, it's for connector J1 and the Edge Cuts layer.
